188 Chapter 136
At night, in the area of the giant snow ridge spruce.
“Ta, ta, ta.”
Crossing the thicket in front of him, Zhang Daoling walked to the front of a spruce.
A huge dent appeared at the bottom of its thick trunk, as if something had dented the originally intact surface.
Zhang Daoling bent down to examine it carefully. There were still some dried blood stains on it, combined with the degree of pressure on the grass below.
In the end, he determined that this was where Master Jue Neng was unconscious.
The other party must have been hit by quite a big impact. He only stopped after crashing into the tree trunk behind him, and then fell into a coma.
However, there was no sign of Master Jue Neng here.
Could it be that he had woken up long ago and left on his own?
Zhang Daoling thought that the possibility was quite high.
Since there was no sign of the other party, he could only check the surroundings. He could not return empty-handed.
After taking a few steps in the northwest direction, Zhang Daoling, who had excellent eyesight, noticed that there was a faint flash of light in the bushes in front of him.
He hurriedly stepped forward, pushed aside the weeds, and examined the items inside.
There were actually two silver-white iron rods lying in the muddy grass.
Zhang Daoling recognized them at a glance. They were master Jue Neng’s weapons. He bent down to pick them up, and only then did he realize that there was a large bend where the two iron rods were connected.
It must have been a powerful impact that hit the center of the Iron Rod in an instant, resulting in the thin and long iron rod, which had been intact before, breaking into two halves.
Zhang Daoling still remembered that on the way here, Wizard Jue Neng had repeatedly wiped the iron rod, treating it like a treasure.
However, now, he had found the remains of the iron rod here, but the other party had disappeared without a trace. It could be said to be quite abnormal.
According to his understanding of wizard Jue Neng, with his personality, even if it was a broken iron rod, he would not have left it on the spot.
Or, the other party didn’t leave this place out of intention.
Zhang Daoling couldn’t help but think.
At this moment, he noticed that besides the iron rod, there was also a footprint on the ground.
The bottom was triangular in shape, and the top was four slender oval-shaped footprints. These should be the footprints of a predator.
And in the afternoon, the only predators that could move around this area were wolves.
Zhang Daoling was shocked. He looked at the broken iron rod in his hand, then at the footprints of the Wolves on the ground.
He seemed to have noticed a shocking fact. Jue Neng didn’t leave on his own. Instead, he was taken away by the wolves.
What did they want from him?
To Eat Him?
Then why didn’t they finish him off at the same place and take him away.
Zhang Daoling felt that the Wolf Pack had an ulterior motive for taking away the perceptive mage.
At the same time, he sighed in his heart. The intelligence of living creatures had already reached such a level.
They didn’t rely on wild actions, but on reason.
Zhang Daoling couldn’t help but think of the figure of a giant White Wolf. Was it its idea?
Zhang Daoling tied up the iron rod in his hand with a piece of cloth and hung it on his waist. He followed the footprints of the giant wolf in front of him and continued to search forward, trying to find the perceptive mage with the help of the footprints on the ground.
After walking for another 100 meters in the northwest direction, Zhang Daoling, who was constantly paying attention to the ground, noticed that the footprints on the top had started to increase.
It had originally been a pair, but it had gradually turned into four pairs. This meant that the giant wolf that had taken jue Neng had met up with its companion on the other side.
They were taking the other party deeper into the forest, which was most likely the location of the Wolf Group’s nest.
Zhang Daoling took a step forward and followed the footprints of the Wolf Pack, heading into the pitch-black forest without any hesitation.
In contrast to the day, the forest at night was rather quiet. There wasn’t a single sound, as if the birds on the branches had all fallen asleep.
The wild beasts that had originally resided here had also scattered and left due to the intense battle that had occurred in the morning.
“Ta, ta, ta.”
This also caused the sound of Zhang Daoling’s footsteps to be exceptionally loud in this area.
Around ten minutes later, he stopped in front of a large tree.
This was because the tracks of the Wolf Pack seemed to have ended here. There were no traces left behind, as if they had been forcefully wiped away.
Zhang Daoling didn’t expect that this giant wolf actually had the ability to counter-detect. Its intelligence was indeed not to be underestimated.
Since the clues had been cut off, Zhang Daoling had no choice but to explore on his own to see if he could find any clues here.
Stepping on the airflow, Zhang Daoling jumped up and looked at the environment below. From his position here, he could not see the end of the forest. It was the same for the surroundings. There were no clues.
Seeing that there was no result from looking down from high above, he could only land and search for clues from the ground.
However, as soon as he landed on the ground, he stepped on a string-like object in the grass and pressed it down to the ground.
Kacha
He heard a sound coming from the right. It seemed that he had triggered the trap that he had left behind.
Sou
Violent fluctuations came from the right. Zhang Daoling quickly somersaulted to the side and dodged it.
A thick tree trunk fell from the right side and hit the tree next to him.
The two collided with each other, and a lot of branches and leaves fell. The sleeping birds woke up and flew away in a panic.
At the same time, the giant snow ridge spruce was hundreds of meters away.
